To make things shrt, it was a thing of non-discussion. The company i
was working for sent me as a contractor to that company. It was to
accept their rules or go away. I had several discussions (not about
GOTO :-) after i proved to be not a fool but to no avail.

But i was the reason they changed one thing: the use of /COPY was
allowed! (Ah! Did i tell that /COPY was forbidden? :-)

My argument was QSYSINC and keeping up and safe automatically. Which
was in fact partly a lie because i found no way to make them (the
DSes) pointer-BASED.

Good old Auto Report could change /COPYs, couldn't it?

It was a german (and when i say german, i mean GERMAN!) guy setting up
the rules. Need i tell more? :-)

100% agreed.
